In 2015, a Harvard study published in PLOS ONE tracked the diets of more than 130,000 US men and women for up to 24 years, and identified that eating fruit and vegetables is positively associated with weight change — that is, people who ate more fruit and veg lost the most weight. But not all fruit and vegetables are created equal, and daily servings of some appeared to be linked with bigger weight-loss benefits that others. The veggies are listed here in ascending order of benefit, so the later entries are linked to greater weight loss than the earlier ones. (Click here for more details on the study.)
